A reminder especially to be careful entering gyms and what you do with your keys when you are there.

Four people linked to recent gym burglaries in the Wyndham area were among nearly 70 police caught up with across a local two-night operation.

Police saturated the western suburbs last week as part of Operation Shows, with targeted patrols at key locations.

This approach led to two teenagers being arrested for attempting to follow a patron inside a gym and steal their car keys, and another two were arrested after being located in a car that was stolen from a gym in recent weeks.

68 people were identified and processed by police for a range of offences, including theft of motor vehicle, burglary, and dangerous and unauthorised driving.

11 cars were impounded for a range of driving offences including an unaccompanied learner who was driving an unregistered car without displaying L plates, as well as a number of drivers on suspended or disqualified licences.

Key arrests across the operation include:

Police tracked a stolen Toyota Corolla to Lookout Way in Tarneit on Wednesday evening around 11.30pm, observing two people exit the car on foot. The car is alleged to have been stolen recently from a local gym, after two males followed a victim inside the gym and stole their car keys without them noticing. The two males aged 16 and 15-years-old were arrested in relation to an alleged string of thefts from gyms and were charged.

Officers were conducting patrols outside a gym on Derrimut Road in Tarneit on Wednesday evening just before midnight, when they observed two males loitering outside. Both males were then observed by police to enter the gym behind a patron and loiter near the lockers. Two males aged 14 and 16-years-old were arrested and charged with multiple thefts from gyms and aggravated burglary. They were both remanded in custody.

A 24-year-old from Werribee was arrested after police observed a utility being driven at high speeds with no registration plates on Derrimut Road just after midnight on Thursday. Police observed the car travel through a red light and Air Wing commence tracking from above. Officers deployed stop sticks on Morris Road, and the car came to a stop on Evrard Drive. The driver was arrested and charged with careless driving, driving on a suspended licence, unregistered motor vehicle, nil lights operating and disobey red light.

The operation also led to:
Over 390 vehicles checked and 122 intercepted
47 charges laid and 64 penalty notices issued

Anyone with information about car thieves is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Heading out this weekend? 🚆

Victoria’s free public transport means you can leave the car at home but busy stations and crowded services mean it’s important to stay switched on.

- Keep your bag close
- Sit in a busy carriage
- Trust your instincts
- Look out for the people around you

If something doesn’t feel right at your station, Protective Services Officers are on duty at 216 metro stations every night, don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Have the best weekend, Victoria and look out for each other 💚

A handy reminder.

Can you help?

Do you have CCTV? Werribee Police are appealing for businesses and residences in the Wyndham area to register their CCTV with police.

By registering, police will be able to rapidly make initial enquiries to see if any of the registered CCTV in the area of a crime captured anything of value.

Please note - This will not give police access to your CCTV feed and simply enables a contact point to expediate CCTV canvassing as part of an investigation.
